For a quarantine tank, I am partial to sponge filters, with powerheads, much quieter, or bio wheels with a powerhead. Since fish aren't in there for too long, no gravel or decorations, mechanical filtration is not a big concern.

Bio wheel setup from marineland, driven by a powerhead, serves the same purpose as the sponge filter. I have had by good experience with the bio wheels, with heavily stocked tanks, and they cycle very rapidly.
